Sorry, David, that's an embarrassingly bad announcement, isn't it? Good thing I'm not being paid to make confusing announcements (no, I do that for free). MYTHCON 41 will happen a week earlier than the initial date with which the committee, the Stewards, and the Mythsoc worked. The "week later" comment was meant to reference *when* SMU promised we would have the conference date confirmed: they said we would know by Thanksgiving and we didn't; we were confirmed a week later.

Sorry -*blush*- thinking and typing simultaneously, not editing myself well... I beg off due to fatigue; last week was NUTS for me.

I am sure that Randy & Jason & team will insure that coffee is served in copious amounts. We're relatively good at not repeating the same mistakes (new and different mistakes, that's the ticket!).

Sorry for the confusion--

You young'uns should take heart: I've gotten better at coping with heat as I age (think "fine wine" rather than old broad) so I didn't remember that Norman was that warm - and I had one of the little cottages so I left the building several times every day! What I remember about that was the cicadas making Big Noise-- don't have those in SoCal.

Nah, I think it will be hard to displace the 2nd Milwaukee Mythcon (1999, Mythcon 30) from the high water mark for hot & humid Mythcons lacking air conditioning. IIRC, David & Berni abandoned the site & bought themselves a hotel room for the duration. We were right on the lake & I understand it's usually moderated by the "lake effect" so our location didn't have A/C ("you won't need it..." Famous last words).

I missed Mary Stolzenbach's Mythcon in Nashville (*sigh* - how very sad that makes me; let that be a lesson to you: don't miss Mythcon!) - what was the weather like there?
